     Tina was a beautiful princess that loved learning. When her private tutor told 

her that she would be doing a science lab the next day, she got anxious and 

couldn't sleep that night. The next day, she even arrived to her tutor's room 

fifteen minutes early. However, her tutor was nowhere to be seen. Too eager 

for the lab, she decided to just start the lab anyways. Although her tutor had 

instructed her to wear normal clothes such as a t-shirt and a pair of slacks for 

the lab, Princess Tina wanted to keep wearing her puffy, red dress. She had also 

been told to put on the goggles, gloves, and aprons from the storage room, but 

Tina did not want to wear them for they made her look goofy. She reasoned 

that since her teacher wasn't here, she was not required to do so. The princess 

looked at her lab sheet but thought there was just too much reading to be done. 

Instead, she decided to do the project her own way. 

     First, she filled a test tube with a mysterious chemical. Thinking the 

substance seemed a bit weird, she took a deep whiff of the smell. Suddenly, her 

nose started burning. Not knowing what to do, Tina poured the substance down 

the drain and threw the tube into the trash can, breaking the tube as the tube 

hit the bottom. In the process of doing so, Tina had cut finger, but didn't want 

to tell anyone since she was afraid she might get in trouble. Not being able to 

find a band-aid, she covered her little wound with a piece of tape.

     When the tutor finally walked into the classroom, Princess Tina immediately 

tensed up. After ten seconds of glaring at Tina, he finally spoke up, "Tina, I 

thought I had taught you better. We have spent weeks studying the safety 

rules. I leave once to make some more copies of your worksheets and come 

back to this mess. I am utterly disappointed in you. You are NOT going without 

consequences for this. However, I think it's best that we work out the problems 

you have created here, first. 

     The tutor noticed Tina's poorly bandaged wound and addressed that problem 

first. He took off the piece of tape and thoroughly cleaned Tina's cut. He then 

placed a neat band-aid onto the wound. Thinking the sink was smelled funky, 

the teacher walked over and realized that Tina had poured Hydrochloric Acid 

down the drain. The tutor began running water to wash out the acid. Noticing 

that Princess Tina's clothes were contaminated with the acid, he instructed her 

to go change and throw away her dress. When she came back, the tutor 

lectured her on how she should have been wearing the proper lab clothes. (lab 

apron, goggles, gloves, and not a puffy dress) Even so, she still should have 

waited for him to arrive to class. Then, none of this mess would have happened. 

       The tutor told the king and queen what Princess Tina 

had done. The king and queen were also disappointed 

their daughter. As punishment, she was not allowed to 

do anymore labs for the rest of the winter season. The 

tutor also gave the princess an assignment where she 

had to write a 20 page essay on lab safety and the 

mistakes she made today.

    Feeling horrible about her decisions, the princess 

vowed that she would always follow the safety rules 

from now on.
